Resolves issue apache#11292 where Maven shows '[unknown project]' in error messages when using -e -X flags, particularly in CI environments. The issue occurred because DefaultProjectBuilder was creating DefaultProjectBuildingResult with null project information when ModelBuilderResult.getEffectiveModel() returned null, resulting in empty projectId and causing ProjectBuildingException.createMessage() to display '[unknown project]' as a fallback. This fix extracts project identification from available model data (rawModel or fileModel) when effectiveModel is null, following the same pattern used in ModelBuilderException.getModelId(). Changes: - Added extractProjectId() helper method that falls back to rawModel or fileModel when effectiveModel is null - Modified project building result creation to use extracted projectId and POM file information instead of null values - Maintains backward compatibility: when all models are null, still returns empty string to preserve '[unknown project]' fallback for truly unknown projects This provides better error messages showing meaningful project identification like 'com.example:my-project:jar:1.0.0' even when project building fails, while maintaining existing error handling patterns. (cherry picked from commit cb5ee55)
